[HowTo] set VPS Timezone
November 2, 2008 · Filed Under Linux
- First nuke the currently set timezone
- rm -rf /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null; unlink /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null
- Then, decide what timezone you want
- find /usr/share/zoneinfo/ | more
Once you know the filename representing your timezone, use ln as follows. In this example, I will set the VPS to EST, my favorite timezone.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST /etc/localtime
